O fonološkim i morfološkim osobitostima Habdelićeva Zrcala Marijanskoga (1662)

This article analyses the phonological and morphological features of Juraj Habdelić’s (1609–1678) work Zarczalo Marianzko (1662) in order to demonstrate that its language is predominantly based on the literary Croatian Kajkavian dialect. Moreover, the author sheds light on the impact of Štokavian and Čakavian authors on Habdelić's language. Special attention is paid to those language features which can be viewed as Kajkavian, but which were included in the body of literary Kajkavian as a whole at a time when the Kajkavian literary tradition still existed. The study shows that there were non-Kajkavian elements at a phonological level, such as the reflex of šva, denotation of syllabic r̥ as ar, reflex of *ď as đ, and the actualization of the Second Palatalisation of velars. As for morphology, the following features are encountered: voc. sg. m. - e, the interrogative-relative pronoun što including its derivatives, the use of the future tense, and the particle neka in the imperative 3. pers. sg. Of the overall Kajkavian dialectal features throughout its existence as a literary tradition, other divergences are also encountered: the change of e >, o loss of the negative form of the verb moći in 1. pers. pl., the forms of the numerals štiri and dvajseti, and the short, contracted forms of the perfective present tense form of the auxiliary verb biti.
